  1. How to upgrade Windows Server 2012 to 2016


    Hello. We have a 2012 server. We want to update it to 2016 server. We do have a legitimate key. I downloaded the Eval version of the website planning to add the key after to convert it, but it says we cannot do an in place upgrade because it is a different edition. I think you cannot upgrade to a eval version from a standard version? Is there a way to upgrade to it without a standard ISO? If not, how can I get a Windows Server 2016 standard iso to upgrade? Is a clean install our only choice?

    :)

    Windows Server 2016 Upgrade

    When updating from windows server 2012 R2 to server 2016, I'm not getting the step by step procedures where you can select keep file and apps and other steps. I just get the setup screen, which after couple of minutes it display a window to select what type of windows server you want to install.

    Once selected it does a full install of windows server 2016, which re-images the C drive. Afterwards you have to re-install all your applications.

    Any suggestions on why it doesn't go through the step by step procedures.

    Thank you,

    Ron
